Australia’s leading provider of in-school workshops for teen girls since 2003.

Created by experienced educators with a proven track record of success, Enlighten Education is an award-winning, for-profit social impact business. Our evidence-based programs are designed for students aged 10–18 and help tween and teenagers navigate the complex messages they receive about themselves, their relationships and the world around them.

Our workshops cover everything from strengthening friendships and building self-esteem, to developing gratitude, leadership skills and a sense of social responsibility. Rather than telling young people what to think, we encourage them to think critically, trust their own voice and recognise the power they have to create positive change.

We believe learning should also be fun. Humour, storytelling and shared experiences are central to the way we teach because we know connection creates the conditions for meaningful learning. Research shows that humour does not distract from education; it can enhance engagement, strengthen memory and reduce defensiveness.

Young people are extraordinarily attuned to social dynamics, so creating spaces where students can laugh together helps build a sense of belonging and openness. Enlighten workshops provide positive, engaging and memorable experiences that students genuinely enjoy from start to finish.

Your choice of half or full-day programs can support your students to become more confident, compassionate and capable young people. Feedback from many of Australia’s and New Zealand’s leading schools, along with endorsements from experts in education and psychology, reflects the lasting impact of our work.

With extensive experience in education and school leadership, our team understands the realities of school life, including timetables, curriculum requirements and the wellbeing challenges facing today’s young people.

Please take a moment to explore our programs and meet our team. We would be delighted to discuss your school’s needs and help tailor an experience that best supports your students.

We know the Enlighten Education experience has been incredibly powerful for the tens of thousands of young people we have been privileged to work with, and we would love to bring that experience to your school community too.

*We understand young people may be LGBTQI, gender diverse or living with an intersex variation. Our workshops are highly inclusive; when working with young people, we avoid using gendered pronouns, challenge discriminatory language and encourage young people to question limiting gender stereotypes.

Enlighten Education is proud to have joined Together 4 Youth, a collective uniting to amplify the voice of young people and support them through education into thriving futures. Our fellow alliance members include Mission Australia, Reach and Raise.
